Turns out, the only reason Thorne chose to come out was because ... well ... someone asked her a simple question.

“I didn’t even think about it,” she explained. “A fan on Twitter asked me, and I’m super open about it. So I just said, ‘Yeah!’”

Asked if she’s faced any subsequent backlash, Thorne admitted the industry can be hard on celebs who have made their sexual orientation public.

“It is hard in this business for us,” she admitted. “It really is. I have already had people talk shit to me. And it comes from people in the industry, not even fans. I’ve had studios tell me my image is too ‘out there,’ hinting at it but not really saying it ... But I’m not going to change myself for this business, and I’m not going to change myself for anyone else.”

On a lighter note, Thorne also revealed her two biggest celebrity crushes, and, funnily enough, they’re both fellow former Disney starlets.

“Demi Lovato, I must say ... rawrrrr. She is a pretty toasty woman,” Thorne said. “Miley Cyrus too. She’s dope. But Demi is fire, just fire.”
